Chapter 455: Chapter 454 An Nan’s Troubles
The wedding banquet is scheduled for the evening, with plenty of time, so everyone is relaxed.
A group of people discussed briefly and ultimately decided not to go home to change clothes. Instead, they called their families to send the clothes to the groom’s house. Zuo Qingfeng’s marital home was set up at the Zuo Family mansion, which is typically how prominent families spend the first night of a wedding, saying it’s to honor tradition.
Lin Mubai’s outfit had already been delivered to the Lin Family a day earlier, so he called home to have it sent to the Zuo Family.
As the brother of the bride, Xi Shaoqi naturally went home first.
Today’s wedding process roughly involved first going to the bride’s house to pick her up, then going to the Zuo family to serve tea to the elders, and finally holding the wedding at the ’Champs Elysees’.
When Lin Mubai emerged from the changing room in his new outfit, his elegant demeanor made today’s groom, Zuo Qingfeng, quickly show a hint of displeasure, secretly muttering, "Demon."
After a group of men changed clothes, they were ready to pick up the bride at her home.
Today’s convoy, driven by Zuo Qingfeng’s good brothers, comprised mainly of self-driven high-performance cars. Though not large in number, the convoy created a striking sight on the road, especially since all the drivers were handsome.
Last night, An Nan and her group didn’t party too late; they went to sleep around midnight. A group of women were quite sensible, knowing that there was a wedding today, so they didn’t overdo it.
Besides An Nan and Xi Yu, who returned to the Xi Family in the morning to accompany the bride and understand some matters, the rest stayed at the ’Champs Elysees’, planning to go to the bride’s house the next morning.
Staying in an unfamiliar environment, An Nan felt unsettled and simply woke up early.
Since today was the wedding of the Xi Family’s eldest daughter, the front hall was already bustling with people early on. An Nan decided to avoid these people, heading to the Xi Family’s back garden. Having arrived late the previous night and not having the chance to explore, she only now realized how grand the Xi Family mansion was, deserving its status as one of the prominent families in B City.
However, there was no amazement or jealousy in An Nan’s eyes, only a faint tranquility, as if all of this was unconnected to her.
In the back garden, An Nan saw a hanging chair. She settled in and swayed gently, pondering quietly, mostly about how to comfort the petty man tonight. She had quite the fun last night, and now, calm, she felt a tinge of worry.
Just as An Nan was quietly immersed in her thoughts, a figure gradually approached her. Xi Shaoqi, having been busy all night, had just returned home and was about to go upstairs to his room to rest when he noticed an unexpected figure heading to the backyard. Without thinking, he immediately changed his mind and followed the figure.
He didn’t go up to disturb her immediately; instead, he observed from a distance, seeing the little woman on the hanging chair lost in thought. Only then did he gently approach with the intention of scaring her.
Xi Shaoqi, with a mischievous look on his face, approached the hanging chair and suddenly pushed it from behind, startling An Nan completely.
Once An Nan recovered from her fright, she recognized who it was, a hint of helplessness in her eyes: "Shaoqi, where’s your composure? Why have you become just like Lin Mubai?"
She’s gradually realizing that these men are entirely different outside compared to at home. Outside, they act all composed, handsome, and aloof, but in reality, they’re all childish at heart.
